West Minnehaha maps to a single census tract in Vancouver, WA, population 4,052. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.1/10, in the Elevated tier. 53% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Vancouver rate of 31.8%.
The severe-burden share is 33%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. At $2,095 a month, rents sit 23% over what the rest of Vancouver commands.
Court records for this tract carry 37 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 2.4% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.1% in 2018, is well off that peak.
Among the 39 mapped neighborhoods of Vancouver, it ranks #35 by risk, the lower third. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $97,696.
35% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
